We seem to have a difficult time in filling this position almost every term.

SO...I propose that we do away with it and combine the duties with other offices...namely the Minister of Interior and/or president. IF you disagree and think we shoud keep thw cultural office please post. Be aware that you will probably get appointed as Minister of Culture since the 72 hour call for appointments has passed I can assign any citizen to the job. Since no one applied then we must think its not an important position.

I am open to suggestions of which duties should we move and to which office. In order to make this a lasting change we will need to write an amendment. Otherwise any changes made by the Tri will be undone at the end of this term(see CoL)
 
IIID. Powers and Duties of the Minister of Culture:
1. The Minister of Culture shall keep track of the Culture buildings in each city, the Culture of each city, and the religions in each city throughout the Empire, and shall may this information available to any citizen upon request.
2. The Minister of Culture shall control all Great Artists, Great Merchants, and Great Prophets.
3. The Minister of Culture shall be in charge of all Missionaries.
4. The Minister of Culture will keep list of all of our Cities, their current culture level, how fast they are gaining culture, a projection of when they will next increase in culture, their current level on the Great Person Bar, how much is being gained on that bar per turn and when that city will produce a Great Person.
5. The Minister of Culture may require a culture building to be built in a City once every 4 buildings, if none of the previous 3 buildings produced any culture. And what building it shall be.

1. goes to Cartographer/information department or something like that
2. goes to president (or minister of science?)
3. goes to president
4. goes to Cartographer
5. goes away?
 
Questions to everyone....is item 1 necessary? It seems like a made up duty in order to have a position with something to do.

I agree with the rest of your statements Dutch. I think the great peopel should be Minister of science since right now they will probably get used up in "lightbulb" mode.

IF we werent a creative Civ then this position would be more crucial or if we were going for a cultural victory.

Anyone wants to take a crack at writting the amendment or do you guys prefer a Tri degree for this term only.
 
Well I think giving these powers up (especially great people) to another position kind of disturbes the equilibrium we have set. It will look rather unbalanced. I'm not sure if that will affect us much, but jsut a little insight.
 
I would be wary of officially giving anything to the Cartographer as it is not an official post - and is only supposed to be working for the SoW. If there is no Cartographer, then the DP will have to post screenshots following the TC and any other culture related stuff will fall to whoever we give it to.

I agree with Daveshack about the Tri decree - let's see how it pans out at first.
 
OK..what if we just take the minister of culture jobs ( that matter ie number 2) adn give it to the Tri for now. That is teh only part of the cultural duties which really need to be worried about right now.

(all of this doesnt matter if Strider wants the job.)
 
I was MoC for 2 terms. Mostly just posting pictures, limited power since we don't have a religion. Otherwise the MoC stands pretty high on the chain of command. (Which doesn't matter anymore). I only could do 1 thing during those two terms and that was to have a cultural building built somewhere (even though I'm not sure it was entirely legal)
 
OK I would have to check with MoI to see if he is willing to undertake these extra duties this term. And if it works out we can start on an amendment next term.
 
It doesnt matter now...Strider has decided to come on as Minister of culture.

I guess we need to discuss the amendment now...Do we want to proceed.
 
I dont know if its legal or not but are you interested in drafting the amendment if it was legal. I would but wading into the CoL makes my eyes bleed and I know anything I write up would have some parts declared invalid due to my oversights.

We should also remove "Minister of Culture" in some other parts of the Code of Laws.
 
I see one conflict..Interior is in charge of Great engineers and then Science is in charge of all GP.

What makes more sense all GP put in science or all but engineers? I think all GP put in science simply due to the light build option.
 
sorry didn't see that, I'll change it
 
OK I think we have to start a separate thread with it labeled as proposed amendment to fullfill the requirement for discussion. Some people may not look in this thread.

Good job.
